If you have been using Formspring for Q&A on your site, you can now replace it with Pubble. You can import your Formspring Q&A's and enjoy even more functionality. See: <a href="http://www.pubble.co" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.pubble.co</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514a7cd869beddf145000010TapmapWed, 20 Mar 2013 23:22:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514a7cd869beddf145000010
For any companies out there (especially colleges and universities) that want to replace Q&A on their site, the www.pubble.co is probably the best bet.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51446025eab8ea576400001aYuri SSat, 16 Mar 2013 08:05:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51446025eab8ea576400001a
Wait for Obama to subsidize minority startup s. it's all in the name of good.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5144153469beddd438000014WalkerSat, 16 Mar 2013 02:46:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5144153469beddd438000014
When a similar service named askmosio.com died (12/31/11) I don't think anyone even noticed.
Now there is Chacha, Yahoo Answers, Askville, and various email/text a librarian services.
How was Formspring going to make any money?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51440a4169bedd0e21000035todddSat, 16 Mar 2013 01:59:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51440a4169bedd0e21000035
Look up DailyBooth, Sticcam and BlogTV, just a couple others that bought the farm.
Without some sucker VC's coming to buy their sinking ships, there's just no money in social media.
The internet is nothing but free loaders. And thanks to all the websites that give their content for free, people expect free shit.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5144079469bedd9c13000070todddSat, 16 Mar 2013 01:48:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5144079469bedd9c13000070
Do any of the dumb ass VC's actually use social media.
Here's a clue before you spend your million dollars on some "start up", social media is a fucking LOSS LEADER.
Social media are filled with 15 year olds that have no money to buy shit and are tech savvy enough to use AD Blockers to avoid your marketing.
I'm seeing social media go away everywhere. Why? Because there's no fucking money in social media. Facebook has a SHELF LIFE. Why do people think Facebook is the next Proctor and Gamble??
Social media is short-life consumables. You're a moron if you invest in social media. And the social media startups are just money pits.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5143efa2eab8ea117c000023QUORA WILL FAIL. I THINK INSTAGRAM WOULD HAVE BECOME THE NEW FACEBOOK.Sat, 16 Mar 2013 00:05:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5143efa2eab8ea117c000023

Time to separate men from the boys! Let the carnage begin! Bubble is bursting ....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5143cc39eab8eab53100002aKevin SystromFri, 15 Mar 2013 21:34:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5143cc39eab8eab53100002a
Sounds like Quora or Instagram, dragged out for years with no clear plan of monetizing, not every startup can be sold for a billion dollars. That's what happens when you fail to sell to someone who's dumb enough to pick up your startup.
